2000 Holden Vectra JS review from Australia and New Zealand
"Love it... but if I could do it over again... wouldn't touch it with a barge pole!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cam/Timing Belt needed to be replaced.
Tyres not matching.
Electric Mirror Switch needed to be replaced.
Stereo needed to be replaced.
Bearings needed to be replaced.
Hubcaps broke and needed to be replaced, twice.
Battery needed to be replaced.
Ignition barrell needed to be replaced.
General comments?
I love my Vectra... I love that I can load heaps of stuff into it... I love that the hatch looks sporty, but its still spacious inside...
From all the replacements above you would think that I drive like an absolute hoon... but I don't.
I think I bought a lemon... but from what I have read from other people's experiences... It just seems that Vectra's in general seem to have these re-occuring problems.
Its nice (well in a way) to know that someone else shares my pain!
